Chapter 1116: Old Hei Gets Into Trouble
Reporter Ximen sat across from them, tapping away at his keyboard at a leisurely pace. "Don't worry. The Snow Knight won't turn into the Titanic. You're no Rose, and I'm no Jack."
Whether it was a news article or a work journal, neither required the kind of mad, sleep-deprived grind Sun Fatty put himself through. There were no attendance bonuses, either. With writing, quality mattered, not quantity, so the work was naturally much more relaxed.

The Snow Knight was the name of the cruise ship. It mainly sailed between Southeast Asia and Europe, so it wasn't likely to run into any icebergs.
Ximen Dong and Sun Nanzheng had come to Li Bai's cabin to write. Besides enjoying the lively company, they were there to mooch off his satellite router.

Not a drop of rain could reach it. Beneath it sat a telescoping support pole and a equipment base with a built-in lithium battery. Together, they provided a stable, exclusive 800 Kbps connection. It couldn't compare to the fiber-optic broadband at home, which could easily reach hundreds of Mbps, but it was more than enough. They didn't have to fight for access to the ship's unreliable public Wi-Fi or pay for an expensive dedicated line. Even if they paid for extra bandwidth, the latter still couldn't match this standalone satellite router.
